Gardening and Horticulture - Mock Rocks

I'm looking for a place to buy big fake rocks and boulders, but does anyone know which places might have the best prices? So far, the cheapest place I've seen is about $85 each.
Thanks,
Carpy

I only know of sites where you can make them yourself. Can you share some of those sites?

Thanks,
Newt

Carpy,

How many would you like! - lol

Hi Carpy,

I've seen rocks at Home Depot, but I don't remember the cost. They didn't have boulders unless I missed them.

Newt,

Some links on hypertufa -

Hi Newt,
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. I've been busy in the garden AM to PM. Here's a few sites for the rocks. Alsto's is the cheapest so far.

Thanks, Carpy. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I had company and was working in the garden. I put the e-mail notification aside and forgot to take a look at the sites you referred me to.

Actually, I am looking for fake bolders to put around my pond (which isn't built yet). At those prices, I think I could get the real deal locally. There is also a site I found where you can make your own, and as many as you like. It comes with a video on 'how to' and costs about $99. Seems like a better deal to me.


Gami, thanks to you too. I do have several sites already on hyper tufa. I hope to do some projects this summer.

Thanks to you both for your help,
Newt
